There is no doubt whatever that the electoral vote of Ore

The plurality will be oven? helming
The majority will be overwhelming. .
But that will not be enough. President Harding will need
a Republican Senate, in order to make a clean sweep1 of the mud

In order to give protection to our wool growers and our

And all the other agricultural interests and all the other

In order to et rid of the 100,000 to 209,000 useless Demo

In short, in order to get back to first principles and down

postoffice department has . been the storm center of strife and
bitter feeling, without parallel in the history cf this or any other

That .these statements can be verified by the facts an im
partial review of the record will show. "
From August, 1918, to June, 1919, the telegraph and tele
rhone lines were joined to the postofficeTdepartment and placed
under the jurisdiction of the Postmaster General. The trials
of the telegraph and telephone workers during the; period of
government operation, were more severe than those suffered by
cratic overlords sent there' from
the solid south. They have had

"Lo, the poor Indian wiiose un
tutored mind." of whom Pope
sang, is evidently tne inaian 01
tbe caveman age. The American
Indian of the present generation
is neither poor nor untutored. A
recent list of American million
aires contained the names of 52
native Indians of unadulterated
Mood; and now comes the Indian
of Arizona demanding of the gov
ernor -of that state full rights.
not alone to citizenship, but to
public school education.
Juan Pistola, a Yaqul Indian
of high degree, who traces his
lineage -back 17 generations, is
recognized as th? chieftain of
more than 4000 Yaquis who have
come over to Arizona, according
to their chief, for the purpose of
securing "the benefits of educa
tion and the rights of free citi
tens." For 200 years 'the Yaquis
have held their mountain lands
in Mexico against the Mexican
government. They have been hard
and rude fighters, taking no pris
oners and asking no quarter.
At times their bands were driven
across the American border by the
Mexican troops. Some of the
tribesmen settled In the fertile
Arizona valleys and established
friendly relations with t!e white
settlers. When they returned to I
their native mountains they car
ried back alleging talei or the lif
of! peaceful industry led by the
"pale Tares north pf the border."
Little by little the Ya'qui colon
ist expanded in Arizona untii
they now possess land and stock
and have learned the customs of
the v,hlte man and the rudiment
of his education.
Chief Pistola has made a de
mand of the governor of Arizona
that public schools be established
in alf the Yauqi settlements. He
asserts that the Indians pay the
same taxes as their white neigh
bors and that they have the same
rights In regard to public schools.
All the Yaqui fettletnents in the
state acknowledge Pistola as their
chieftain. Vhenever disputes arise
either with the local governments
or with their tribes, they are sub
mitted to Chief Pistola, and his
decree is as binding as though it
were an order from the supreme
court. -
The Indians find they fare much
better In Arizona than In Mex
ico. They say the American gov
ernment demands only justice or
them, while he .officials of the
Mexican government were always
k'ng tribute. Although there
has been continuous warfare for
luore than a century between the
Yaqui and the federal forces in
Mexico, the Yaquis or Arizona
have always been law abiding.
They have developed a sense of
honor to a degree' that would
thame many Americans, although
it sometimes takes unique forms.
A Yaqui will keep hi promise to
pay attested by his "mark." al
though he may be compelled to
sell his wife or children .to meet
the obligation.
Teachers; in the Indian schools
report that the Yaquis are slow to
learn, but that they possess re
markable 'memories. When an
lda is once- folly comprehended
it Is remembered for a lifetime.
The most difficult thing for tbenr
to understand is the change In
plate laws. They are grounded
in tradition and are slow to learn
that what was permitted last year
can be a misdemeanor or felony
this . year. Under the ancient
Yaqui code the more venerable
One of the troubles of Mexico
is the objection of the generals
to be demobilized. All the rebels
and privates are ready to quit If
they can get a month's pay, aa
acre of ground and a few garden
tools.
Rut the colonels and generals
winh to retain their rank and pay
and a body gua-d.
If they all have their way the
country will be kept broke for
the next generation.
The officers want 'their large
estates and their servitors.
They want their ml'ltary trap
pings.
They wish to hold all the neces
sary equipment to carry on a pri
vate war at the expense pf the
ration. It Is with its evertuppljfr
of generals that Mexico most
contend. The private soldier and
